Poems of Passing Fancy

Broken

So I'm currently going through a rough break up. Expect a few depressing and sad poems for a bit while I do my writing-therapy here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love you, you whispered in my hair
late that night. I'll never leave your side.
So I smiled and whispered back
Because I believed the lies.

Days turned to weeks, and then they turned
Into months, which felt like forever.
I tried my hardest and did
Whatever I could to savor
The few moments we had.

I turned a blind eye and ignored what they said.
You were mine, what could I lose?
Everything, my sight went red.
You betrayed me for this?
Another body in your bed?

Red, cold, salt, gasps. I tried
To move past what I believed
And to focus on where you lied.
When you told me you loved
All that I did and loved?

I cry and cannot sleep.
The nightmares find me and then
They show me the truth
In their twisted and warped sight.
I see the stabbing and abandonment
Before it happens.

I stopped listening. It's all the same
Anyway. You'll find someone new,
There are more fish in the ocean.
But you were the big catch,
The last of a dying breed.
